Mine also beeps and has to push a bunch of buttons. I have to hit a button to turn it on then off as well as a timer if I choose to use it. It's also part of my oven so I have to open the door and put in a tray. It beeps when it's at the temperature and if I do decide to use the timer. It's so annoying.
But seriously why are people using smart appliances? I've yet to see one that's actually good.
If I'm being honest, I totally understand the appeal, in concept. Like, it would be nice for my washer/dryer/food machine to be able to ping me when it's done or let me see certain stats/metrics/maintenance things remotely.
But corpo "smart" devices are rarely giving you much useful info while also trying you to corpo cloud services that can disappear over night, harvests all kinds of data, forces shitty "features" on you, shows ads or even locks you out entirely if it can't talk to the mother ship (because fuck you, that's the manufacturer's device, peasant scum!), there's no reason to use them.
I have a handful of 'smart' features in my house, but it's all local only and uses home assistant because I'm not going to let some corpo scum update some TOS and decide I can't use my goddamned hardware anymore.
It does feel delightfully lazy to pick a recipe and send the settings with one tap. But the forced rate-or-skip spoils much of the fun.
Also basically, it's time and temperature. It's not like a Fallout-style robot that cooks complex meals for me. Could do without.
I like my smart lights, being able to control them from my phone is amazing. But that's about it. Don't have anything else.
